Hi All

MyTV is driving me crazy and WAF is low, so i really need some help. The situation is:

Often TV is just black, when i switch to Full Screen it will say No Signal. If i then change channel to one of the digital channels then they are alsways working. If i change back again to the analog channel that was just black it often works.
Sometime when i change back the sound is messed up with a very annoying load "beep" kind of sound. If i then change to another analog channel and back, then it works.

When it comes to recording, i have a lot off recording that are only around 45-50 minutes (even though they should be around 90 minutes). I dont have a current log, but i remember one i saw, that said "No signal"

I expect that the problem is that my signal strength is too low, but are there any way i can verify that? (Any hidden shortcut or anything else that can display the signal strength?)

The autotune in the setup is always finding all my channels.

BTW i love mediaportal and i think the devs are doing a great job, so if just i could make this thing work my HTPC experience would be perfect :)

I happened again

I had set a recording to record from 2255 -> 0630. As far as i can see the log file indicates that it did record the full time, however the recorded file is only about 60 minutes.

Log files are attached.

    Hi,
    Are you using analog or digital & do you have space left on hd?
    Try disabling EPG & test that & if you have a recording/error log attach that too...

    Seems to work

    Hey Roy

    I was recoring on the analog card, and yesterday i recorded a two hours film :)

    I'll keep testing to see if this is really solved.

    Thank you very much
